Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240035 discusses multiplexed stimulated emission depletion nanoscopy for multi-color live-cell long-term imaging. In the field of ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Researchers at EPFL have created CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that selectively labels centrioles and cilia in living cells across species. The tool enables unprecedented live imaging without genetic ...

Proteins are most well-known for their intricate structures. The α-helices and β-sheets that form from interactions between sidechains create distinct shapes that, along with the specific amino acid ...

Christophe Leterrier uses advanced microscopy to uncover neurons’ intricate nanostructure and dynamics while creating ...

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr. Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, titled "Sensing and Control of Single Trapped Electrons Above 1 Kelvin," in ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of certain ...
